TDs say they won’t pay airport breach fines

At Ennis District Court yesterday, Judge Patrick Durcan found the pair guilty of breaching airport regulations when entering a restricted area at Shannon Airport on July 22, 2014, and fined them each €2,000. They were given three months to pay up or face 30 days in prison.
However, speaking after the case on the steps of Ennis courthouse, Mr Wallace said: “I wouldn’t pay that fine to save my life.”
